Amanda's Corner - Montague Announcements

Hello Tutors!

Here are a few brief announcements:

  • YES Reading will be participating in the school-wide Student of the Week Program. If you would like to nominate a student for Student of the Week, please let me know!
  • List of Substitutes - Every other week, I send out an email to our list of substitutes, listing the times and dates a tutor will be absent, and a student will not be seen. There is no commitment implied, but if a registered sub would like to tutor during one of the listed sessions, he/she can email me back with which session he/she would like to cover. If you would like to be on this sub list, or know someone who would like to volunteer with YES Reading in this capacity, please let me know.

February Holidays : School is closed February 18th-February 20th, so there will be no sessions this week.

Children's Week: We are celebrating Children's Week February 11th-13th. This is a traditional holiday in Mexico, where all children are honored. We will be celebrating this special week by inviting the parents of our students to attend their child's tutoring session, and see what wonderful activities we do at YES Reading.

Training Acknowledgements: Please let me know if you have attended three or more Tutor trainings in the course of your time here at YES Reading. We have a special gift for you, and we would like to recognize your dedication!
